🇮🇱🇵🇸Netanyahu: Israel ‘Must Complete the Job’ in Gaza as Hamas Refuses to Disarm

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared today that Israel “has no choice but to finish the job” against Hamas, citing the group’s continued refusal to disarm. A new military offensive, fast-tracked by the security cabinet, is set to target the two remaining Hamas strongholds—Gaza City and surrounding camps—to swiftly end the conflict. He emphasized that the goal is to eliminate Hamas’ operational capabilities while avoiding permanent occupation.

Addressing mounting international criticism and humanitarian concerns—including widespread malnutrition and civilian deaths—Netanyahu denied any intention to starve Gazans. He blamed Hamas and UN inefficiency for delaying aid deliveries, and highlighted coordination with the U.S. to open safe corridors and increase humanitarian assistance during the campaign.
